The deliberate ambiguity around the ages of many anime characters makes it into something of a gray area. I'm pretty firmly against any censorship unless a real child is being victimized, but as a fervent anime-hater, I think it might also be a good idea for anime fans to stop and think about why that ambiguity is so common, and what it says about the medium as a whole.
